Originally posted by davyd83 View PostCould the Democrats say, OK, Wasilla it is. Then go there and force a vote? The governor announced the session would be in Wasilla last week.
They finally came back. Now they are voting to override other parts of the budget veto. I assume the vote will be 37-1 on every question.
ETA: They just voted on one thing, then rescinded the veto override vote and went back into recess until tomorrow morning.Last edited by ticapnews; 07-10-2019, 05:45 PM.

Re: Ak/uaa
UAH to Atlantic Hockey is an interesting proposition... If they are committed to their program and funding it at a full D1 level, they could be very competitive in that league, which sometime soon might compete for an at large bid.

Re: Ak/uaa
Originally posted by ticapnews View PostThere is a joint session underway. Only 38 members are present.
They need 45 of 60 votes to override.
If there are only 38 present, why don't they only need 29 votes?
No one has spoken in favor of the governor's veto. Even Republicans are bashing him.
To answer the current speaker (a Republican) - no, the governor and his pals know exactly what these cuts mean and they want them. They're not a bug; they're a feature.
Another Republican, Chris Birch, urges an override.
Birch: The vote in the Senate was 20-0, yet only 14 senators are present today.
Rep Josephson of Anchorage is practically in tears.

I love the "UA_" comment. When I see it, I think of re-runs of Match Game, and Gene Rayburn going "U, A, Blank... UA blank"
From ADN:
"According to NCAA, the (UAF) hockey team used ineligible players in every game played from the 2007-08 season to the 2010-11 season. Over that span, the wins and ties will all become losses. 4 wins and 2 ties came against rival UAA".
UAF is 56-86-12 vs. UAA.

Originally posted by ticapnews View PostThat may have been what I heard them discussing in-session. I heard $25 million. That would still leave over a $100 million hole to fill. I would like to be optimistic but I've been following politics too long for that. I'll wait for the legislature to surprise me.Originally Posted by aparch

Originally posted by Suze View PostMaybe I'm being paranoid, but I personally believe that Dunleavy purposely called the special session in Wasilla because he figured all of the Legislators would not attend. He assured himself that his veto could not be overridden!!
I have a feeling that if the other members of the legislature called his bluff and showed up in Wasilla tomorrow or Friday they would discover the 22 cowards had all gone home and the veto would still be sustained.

I feel awful for you guys. This goes well beyond hockey or even athletics at large.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

Plus Dunleavy doesn't exactly have any friends in the Alaska judiciary (even if they can't say that). If the courts rule in the Juneau crowd's favor, maybe they will also restart the "override the veto clock". By then even more folks will be angered at the Governor and the Wasilla crowd. Many of the Wasilla crowd have dodged officially choosing a side. They say they are in Wasilla only because that is the law as they see it. Would be interesting to watch how they vote out in the open now that the public is strongly against the Dunleavy vetos.
This is so much bigger than hockey, university athletics, or even the University itself. His vetos disproportionately hit the young, the old, the sick, the poor, the mentally impaired. Basically the most disadvantaged of our population.

Re: Ak/uaa
Originally posted by mmf View PostNo, that is exactly the strategy. The Juneau crowd can not override his vetos at this point, but they can decrease or zero out the dividends. Former legislator Al Vezey filed a lawsuit against the Juneau crowd today, claiming their meeting is not lawful and any action is invalid. In my past life I spent a lot of time interpreting Alaska statutes, and IMHO, I think this is a slam dunk for the Juneau crowd. But who knows.
